Asks questions so Ezalc doesn't have to
No DLC again, I'm getting worried.
What DLC should be coming out? What came out in Japan for this one?
Marion and Odelia playable character DLC, Cow Paradise area, and Swimsuits for the girls.

Cow Paradise? Is that like the extra area in Meruru with lots of hard battles?
Probably!

Pretty much, though it came out a month after the game was released, so maybe they are keeping up with the same schedule and it'll be released next or next next week?

Sorry if this isn't allowed in the thread or if old news:
Gust's Project A15 has been announced:

It's coming pretty soon, so I may buy Ayesha sooner than I had plan.
If this information does becomes clear (and true), I'll definitely be pre-ordering this game. I really love the Mana Khemia series (There's only 2 which I've played the first one and the beginning of the second).

Well, that's pretty big. Interesting name though, Atelier Escha & Logy? Two alchemists? o_o
Also, I'm curious about the supposed inclusion of Mana Khemia 2... that seems random to just through in there.

Did that get a thread? New news etc?
Anyways, day one in NA for that too. Fan of the series now.

It does seem random but maybe because it has two alchemists in the same way Mana Khemia 2 has been. But I really enjoyed the first one and never got far in the second so I'm actually excited that they're (probably) going to release it with Escha & Logy.
I'll definitely check that out. Did not mean to put the information in the wrong thread

(Can't check right now) but is Mana Khemia 2 already on the JP PSN store though? Or any of the PS2 Atelier games?
I wouldn't know myself, but if MK2 isn't up yet it should be by the time Escha & Logy are out. O:

Just wondering cause it does sound like a big deal that they are tossing in MK2 with the new game. It could be the start of them putting up the other PS2 Atelier games on PSN.
They could hold it back for awhile though like Twisted Metal Black... which was A YEAR as I recall.
I do kinda hope they get those older Gust games up. I was really bored by AI1, but I'm kinda interested in going back to check out at least the non-Iris games.

Maybe I'm an idiot but why does Ayesha have MP? In battles all I can do is swing her staff or use items. Am I missing something obvious cause I'm trippin pretty hard right now.
Some items use MP to throw.
:O thanks for the reminder. will download now!
Thanks for the heads up a reason to go back into Ayesha at some point then.
Would REALLY love to know how Koei 'perceives' Ayesha/Ayesha's sales after all this dual audio nonsense. With the new Atelier games announced, I can't help but worry that we won't hear anything because we won't get it and I'd love to know for sure if that is the case so I can import it.
It's hard enough waiting on Yakuza but that still has a chance based on previous Yakuza announcements (and the amount of work needed for that compared to Ayesha/Atelier games) so I'm still prepared to wait regardless but with Atelier, I don't know :/

Nice, downloading!
So there's lots of Lv55 Mad Ox which have 2500 HP, hit hard and drop cow related stuff. Nothing interesting so far.
Also the music is some sort of techno-cattle, which I'm really hating.
Second area has Lv60 Rage Ox, it's definitively the hardest area in the game so far, but if you can beat GD, this is nothing.

Third area has the boss,
Ancient Live Tree Lv70, it wiped me on my first attempt with Ayesha/Linca/Regina, so I swapped Nio in for Regina and beat it on the second attempt. I wouldn't say that it's harder than Grand Dragon, but the last 30% gets very hard, nothing that God's Miracle Drugs can't take care of tho. I'm just glad he didn't have a regen ability, that made him much easier than GD.
I don't think there's a second DLC area? Is there? I've never heard of there being one.
Second DLC dungeon is called Hidden Paradise (boss fight), and also
as player characters, were released at the same time.
If they keep the same timing, it should be released at the beginning of May.
Odelia and Marion

Video doesn't exist?
And I see, I do hope they don't wait until May to release Marion and Odelia...

I just started this yesterday! 30 minutes in and I'm already in love.
The Instrumental of Maria that plays in the beginning, and then when she goes to visit Maria's grave tears me up ;__;
Love her design, her voice is cute, this is my first Atelier game so I'm really enjoying it so far.

Haha, Nio. I guess Maria's theme was on my mind, I have no idea if there is a character named Maria or why the song is called that. Looking forward to it though.
Lmao, I read the post and started wondering if I was going crazy too.

xD It's like, hey, I must have gotten some sort of special edition! ;B
But seriously, I really like the game so far, and it's a great impression since it's the first Atelier game I've played.

I honestly think the plot was better paced and the world was more interesting to explore in Totori, if that's any motivation. Ayesha's world, kinda like Meruru's, kinda stops adding new places to explore 2/3 of the way through.

The music is what made me start Ayesha first as my first Atelier game, even though I own them all. (Meruru being on its way.)
Edit - Yay, it arrived!

Glad you're enjoying the game!
Finally have some time to play the game, but only for a couple of days so I need to make the most out of it.
Anyway, I have a few questions, what are the tips for synthesis? It still confuses the heck out of me, though most of the stuff I synthesize end up kinda decent most of the time. Also, where to acquire new equipment? There doesnt seem to be any shop/store that would allow weapon/armor forging. Im a bit early in the game though so it might be a while inti the game.

Been a busy couple nights
so I haven't been able to play.
Can't wait to get back in though!
and picking up K-ON Houkago...

Just finished the game and ended up getting two endings. I really like that you can choose which ending to go this time. The item synthesis felt weird at first but as I got Ayeshas alchemy skills, I understood the system bit by bit, and the synthesis trees and combinations kept getting complicated too. Don't know which ones are the best out of the ones I've played so far, but I have a soft spot for Meruru. Oh, Mana Khemia is also in my backlog so I'll try that out in the near future too. Overall, Ayesha is a very good entry in the Atelier series and can't wait for more details about Escha&Logy.
My time however is limited, so I don't know if I can get the other endings or even the Platinum, but I'd love to play more.

I am currently playing Rorona and have a question which I think fits any of these atelier games:
I am in the middle of doing several quests (from Cordelia, esty, sterk, etc) and I know where to get certain items and have an idea how long items will take to make before the deadline, but I always get worried with not turning in the item on time. Atm, I am taking on 5 quests, where sterk's quest is the first one due and I have no pie's for him. I know I need to manage my time/item gathering better and focus one at a time. But, no matter what I always catch myself trying to do multi quests and one ends up being too late.
What's your way of turning in the quest items on time? What would you say is the best way/method?

The best advise I can give you is to look at the available quests, see which ones look doable, and then verify if you think they're doable before you take them. For example, if you need to go somewhere to get materials, how long does it take to get there? Double that at least, as you have to come back as well. Each area's going to take a day or two as well, so factor that in. Go back to your Atelier and check your recipes to see how long an item will take to create. Can you get materials for two different quests from the same area? If not, is it worth taking on the 2nd quest?
It's just about taking precautions about which assignments you take on and which ones you let go by the wayside.
I finally found some time to continue playing the game earlier today and I got to beat the
, I had a hard time killing it because I had Juris in my party and he was not so well equiped since I was just trying him out. Decided to retry with Linca and all went well. I will probably continue it tomorrow. Im sad because I cant actually put much time into it so Im WELL behind schedule compared to you guys. >_> I dont even think I will go for the plat. since my backlog is huge at the moment and I have some tests and work to do next week so yeah... Im still enjoy the hell out of this game though, cant wait for Eschatology.
machine Nio was controling (?)
